Re: My belief in Global Warming is getting shaky
If you react CO2 with H2O we get H2CO3 or carbonic acid. Here is the scenario. The CO2 gets in the atmosphere and stores energy within its rotational, vibrational and translation degrees of freedom. It is bending, vibrating, rotating and translating as it move in the air. When it hits a H2O molecule, if there is a sticky collision, even if H2CO3 does not form, the linear CO2 molecule changes shape to become closer to triangular H2CO3. The result is the energy in the CO2 is blend off by the water. The reaction is exothermic while just restricting CO2 for a short time saps its energy.
As the CO2 collects in the atmosphere, the temperature rises and the amount of water that evaporates also increases. The number of sticky collisions increases, causing the CO2 thermal affect to become nonlinear.
